3 Introduction RCH nursing has a vision to standardise the leadership and management of nursing teams. In 2015 we completed the orientation and development guides for Nurse Unit Managers (NUM) and Associate Nurse Unit Managers (ANUM). The development of this guide in 2016 is the next step in achieving our vision, clarifying the role of the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) as the pinnacle in point of care nursing practice. This guide provides NUM and applicants with clear organisational expectations of the CNS role. In RCH we plan to shine a light on CNS within teams and organisationally. This will occur organisationally in Tuesday@2 ceremonies in April and October of each year. CNS will be publically acknowledged for their success in obtaining the title and presented with a RCH CNS pin. Included in this guide are: An outline of the application process Copies of the Position Descriptions for CNS & RN which demonstrate the different expectations of both roles. Evidence table for applications (Word version on NUM Drive and made available on Mercury for applicants) Successful Applicant Letter template for NUM (Word version on NUM Drive) I would like to take this opportunity to thank the working group for their enthusiasm and commitment in the development of the CNS application guide. We look forward to your feedback and the standardisation of CNS expectations across RCH. Kind regards Bernadette Twomey Executive Director Nursing & Allied Health Chief Nursing Officer 14 th June 2016 CNS Application Guide June
4 Application Process Prior to applying for a CNS role it is important the applicant consider the following: A nurse practising in a specialised field, does not automatically meet the classification of a CNS. A nurse practising new or highly technical clinical skills does not automatically meet the classification of CNS. A nurse who is able to perform some tasks better than other nurses or all tasks competently does not automatically meet the classification of CNS. The terms team, unit, ward, department and program are synonymous. Leave without pay does not count towards qualifying length of experience. Length of service at RCH does not determine eligibility for CNS. It is also essential the applicant is familiar with the RCH CNS position description (Appendix 1). How to apply: Eligible Applicants will submit the following to their NUM via mercury and include the following: 1. Application form completed via Mercury, including CV and letter of application. 2. Completion of the CNS Evidence of Attainment of Standards Tool (Appendix 2). Interview Process: The application will be reviewed by the NUM and if deemed appropriate an interview will be organised within 1 week of the closing date. The interview panel will consist of two NUM +/- Clinical Support Nurse from the unit. Interview Format: The interview will consist of questions relevant to the position description and application. The applicant will provide a short presentation detailing a quality initiative appropriate to the unit. Post interview: The NUM will forward interview documents and recommendation to Director of Clinical Operations and will endorse recommendation of being successful/unsuccessful If Successful, the applicant will: Meet with their NUM for feedback and professional development planning for the coming year. Have a variation completed through Mercury Receive a letter of congratulations from the NUM. An example letter is included in Appendix 3. A word version for personalisation is accessible on the NUM Drive, CNS applications folder Be presented with a CNS pin at a Nursing Forum If Unsuccessful, the applicant will: Meet with their NUM for feedback. Be provided with an explanation, based on selection criteria. Discuss their application, including setting further objectives, with completion time frames, in preparation for future application. If the applicant wishes to appeal the decision, a written submission must be made by the applicant to the NUM within two weeks.
